Georgia's prime minister on Tuesday threatened to punish his political opponents, accusing them of being behind violence at mass protests, as Tbilisi's top court rejected a key lawsuit to annul the result of a contested October vote.
Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze -- who infuriated protesters last week by announcing his government would shelve EU accession talks until 2028 -- also suggested he would take retribution on public servants if they take part in protests.
